Ever wandered a Paris street and wished you could pocket the whole vibe? A builder called Mr House did exactly that, and the result is Avenue De La Fantaisie, a 4,586-piece Parisian townhouse and street scene now climbing the ranks on LEGO® Ideas with 7,339 supporters.

What started as a single townhouse grew into a full corner of the city, complete with elegant doorways, warm streetlights, boutique shopfronts, a metro entrance, and pavement advertising. It all sits across three 32x16 baseplates that separate and reconnect as you please (perfect for shuffling it into a bigger LEGO® city layout, or displaying solo on the shelf).

Now, about that clever bit of building. The 45-degree corner facade is the star of the show, and Mr House test-built it with real bricks first to make sure the digital design in BrickLink Studio 2.0 actually held together. That is the kind of care that separates a pretty render from a buildable model. Inside you will find a men's fashion boutique, a pharmacy (that green cross begs for a lighting brick), a software company office, and a two-story apartment stacked on top.


Designed over roughly six months, the build began as a physical prototype before going digital. Every image and sticker was hand-crafted using tools like GIMP, and there is even a Monet-inspired bridge rendered as a brick mosaic. No AI was involved, just a builder, a plan, and a lot of studs.


What would your version of Paris look like? Because Avenue De La Fantaisie was named for exactly that, imagination and memory, inviting every viewer to picture their own city. Head to LEGO® Ideas, throw your support behind it, and help this Parisian corner take one step closer to a shelf near you. Oui, you can.
